  Hello WordPress: Can you confirm if the “sponsored content ads” that appear at the bottom of my blog post are posted by WordPress? I didn’t see ads in the past.

  Is there any way to hide or remove them from public view? Those ads are jarring.

  Here’s the link to my blog post:

  Maoist’s Hollow Rhetoric of Lifting Nepal from Penury to Prosperity

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hi there,

  The “Sponsored Content” ads by Outbrain are now part of the advertising that appears on free sites on WordPress.com. These display below the first post on the front page, and at the bottom of posts in the single-post view, same as regular WordPress.com ads.

  If you think a specific ad is inappropriate, please take a screenshot of the ad, and send that, along with the URL the ad links to, via the form at https://wordpress.com/support/about-these-ads/. Then our ads team can review the ad, and follow up with Outbrain if needed.

  Thanks!

  To get rid of the ads you either have to buy a plan (personal or higher) OR buy the no-adds addon.
